Todd Boehly raged at Chelsea players in the locker room after a weekend defeat to Brighton by the score of 2-1. According to The Telegraph, Boehly reportedly called their performance this season “embarrassing.”
Last Saturday, Brighton outperformed the Blues at Stamford Bridge. The squad has dropped its last three games since Frank Lampard was named interim manager.
At the final horn, a few of the home fans yelled the strongest abuse at Boehly in the directors’ box. Together with co-owner Behdad Eghbali and Hansjorg Wyss, the businessman decided to address the players in the locker room following the game.

After waiting for Lampard to finish his post-game speech, Boehly took the stage and berated the squad for their “embarrassing” efforts.
According to The Telegraph, he also reminded the footballers that he had spent £600 million to build a winning side and they had not lived up to expectations.
Goal also reports that Boehly also called Chelsea’s season “embarrassing” in a post-Premier League match interview with his team following their 12th loss of the year.
Since taking over, the American has made significant investments in the team, but so far, there hasn’t been much of a payoff on the field.
